I am the one who's near beside you

When night devoures day

Just wait a few more hours

Your life will fade away

You thought that life could last forever

What a fatal fallacy

Confronted with your unknown inner self

I lead you to your destiny


I'm closer than your skin, the enemy within

Flowing through your veins into your brain

Devastating all I get you under my control

I will cause you sneaking endless pain

Endless pain


What would you pay to sleep just for a moment

To get a rest from being scared

I will not leave, I blur your every senses

I hit you when you're unprepared

When I behold the fear within your eyes

It fills my soul with lust

I know the pounding of your poor heart

Is gonna end up in the dust


I'm closer than your skin, the enemy within

Flowing through your veins into your brain

Devastating all I get you under my control

I will cause you sneaking endless pain

Endless pain


Now that your pulse is growing faster

You feel that I'm so close

That rushing in your ears, I love it

Adrenaline overdose

Your shivering body, your staring eyes

Sweat running down your spine

To realize that you are me

Total collapse of your mind


I'm closer than your skin, the enemy within

Flowing through your veins into your brain

Devastating all you're getting just out of control

Together we enjoy your endless pain

Endless pain
